R.O.S.E. Garden

Roots of Scarborough East Community Garden opened it’s door this year . R.O.S.E garden provides opportunities to the residents of Kingston-Galloway to grow fresh vegetables and share
traditions between multicultural communities and generations. ROSE garden also encourages
community members to create their own sustainable environment, and most importantly
to build capacity and a sense of community.

Local community groups, church groups and community agencies came together to grow fresh produce for the local food bank. More that 30 plots have been allocated to community members living in the apartment buildings on Galloway, Kingston Road & Orton Park.

Benefits of ROSE garden extended far beyond original expectations. It became a natural habitat
for community members to relax and enjoy, especially for those who live in the apartment buildings overlooking the garden! This garden is maintained by community members.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Dave our amazing garden volunteer for his dedication and leadership.
